Changing the positive/negative signs on Revenue Report

Question:

I am trying to change the positive/negative signs when producing a revenue report in report writer for the last column "over/-under budget" column. How can I go about changing the signs for this column?

Resolution:

Based on the attached report, it appears that this type of report is using the "F/A FORMAT" report writer definition. You can reverse a dollar value field sign via the Vertical P&L Skeleton Maint., option 11 from the G/L Report Writer Menu (please see screen example below.) PLEASE NOTE: This will change the sign for all reports using this definition. You can use the on-line help (press F1 when cursor is on the field) for more detailed field descriptions. Regards, PF
